TWO burglars were arrested this week after a spate of house breakings in Empangeni.
The men were arrested in Flamingo Road and King Street respectively.
One of the suspects was caught in the act by Preggy Vandayar of VanDamme Security Services.
Police later linked the man to previous house burglary and theft of out of motor vehicles cases.
According to Vandayar, the suspect was on the premises in Flamingo Road for about an hour. He had not yet gained access to the house.
‘We found him in the yard, looking for a way to get in. We questioned him on why he was there and he could not give us an answer. He was then handed over to the police.’
In a separate incident, a 25-year-old man was arrested in King Street. He too, was linked to previous burglary cases, but owing to technicalities, his case was dismissed.
The suspect appeared in the Empangeni Magistrate’s Court on Monday and was remanded in custody until 25 March.
